Yep = likely you bent the bars or rather the dog bent the bars a bit
When you ride - does one side feel out of position? My daughter dropped mine last year with the same kind of results.
Handling isn't seriously impacted - just the muscles in your arms will know that the bars are not quite in the same places.
You can likely lever them back to close to alignment but it takes a bit of brute force - and it isn't much fun horsing them back to position.
I wouldn't be overly concerned as long as you are still comfortable when riding
Keep the rubber side down
